Shatta Wale has added another international milestone to his career after reportedly emerging with two wins at the 43rd edition of the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) in Florida, USA.
News of the achievement was announced by Sammy Flex, the musician’s former manager who now serves as Public Relations Officer for Shatta Movement Music Production, in a statement released on May 18, 2026.
